BallinStadt

BallinStadt (German pronunciation: [baːliːnʃtat]) is the name given to a memorial park and former emigration station in the Port of Hamburg, Germany.

The BallinStadt museum was opened in 2007 and named after Albert Ballin (1857–1918), then director General of the Hamburg America Line.

[1] Originally built in 1901, the site's Swiss chalet style quarters provided shelter, lodging and/or entertainment for the emigrants.

In 1934 the station was closed and demolished by the Nazis, but rebuilt true to original in the early 2000s.

BallinStadt is located at Müggenburger Zollhafen on the isle of Veddel, and can be reached by car, public transport from Veddel (BallinStadt) station or via ferry on the Maritime Circle Line[2] from St. Pauli Landungsbrücken.
